Yukino Mifuyu's fingers clenched together, and after thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "I don't know either."
"Don't know?"
"One day Haruko suddenly entered Paradise, and she didn't even take me... And it's been two years now."
If one day in Paradise equals one hour in reality, then not returning for two years means she has been in Paradise for forty-eight years.
Looking at Yukino Mifuyu's strength, Nanase Haruko probably didn't go to complete difficult tasks like the Fairy Tail Hundred Year Quest.
Not returning for so long was clearly abnormal, no wonder Mrs. Yukino had already tacitly accepted that she was a widow.
Having said so much of what was suppressed in her heart, Yukino Mifuyu's eyes were already tearful, and she bit her lip, trying hard not to release it in front of Kisaragi.
Kisaragi Rin glanced at her; low-level comfort probably wouldn't have any effect, and might even cause Yukino Mifuyu's feelings for him to drop to freezing point.
"Nanase Haruko is a ghost; forty-eight years doesn't necessarily mean death, does it?"
Kisaragi Rin calmly spoke these words.
Yukino Mifuyu lowered her head, the light shining through her hair onto her face was dim, and with a trembling voice, she stubbornly retorted, "I stopped believing that a year ago."
If she had truly come to terms with it, she wouldn't have waited for two years in this apartment.
Kisaragi Rin reached out and brushed aside the strands of hair near Yukino Mifuyu's neck; her swan-like, snow-white neck still glowed with a moist luster after showering, and had a cool touch.
Yukino Mifuyu wanted to escape, but found Kisaragi Rin's palm moving towards the spider silk that bound her.
The wind blade carried by his fingertips tore open the spider silk, and Yukino Mifuyu's coldness as a Yuki-onna immediately tried to burst forth and attack the man who touched her, but it was melted away by Kisaragi's golden light.
Kisaragi Rin easily suppressed Yukino Mifuyu's power, and his golden-glowing hand pressed against Yukino Mifuyu's slender, delicate jade neck, a few gentle strokes causing the touched area to turn pink.
"How about trusting my strength? Serve me as your master. If she's still alive, I'll help you bring her back."
...
Mrs. Yukino continued to eat her favorite cream puffs in small bites, preoccupied with her thoughts.
Her neck, touched by Kisaragi Rin, occasionally felt like an electric shock, and the pink lingered, making Mrs. Yukino a little embarrassed. Her unyielding personality resurfaced, and she coldly sent Kisaragi Rin away.
But judging by her not refusing, she had already accepted a little in her heart.
Given Yukino Mifuyu's personality, it would normally be impossible to achieve all this without a long period of interaction, even with Kisaragi's coercion and inducements.
His 9 points of Charm, and the effect of the Demonic Garment, slightly compensated for this.
The basic Charm ensured that Yukino Mifuyu would not subconsciously feel too much aversion towards Kisaragi Rin; otherwise, when Kisaragi Rin asked about Nanase Haruko, Yukino Mifuyu would truly have remained silent and rather died than yield.
Although Yukino Mifuyu is a Yuki-onna and not a ghoul, the Demonic Garment's effect could still be exerted to some extent, making it easier to open Yukino Mifuyu's heart.
The rest could only rely on subsequent strategies.
Equipment - Demonic Garment
Description: Like a Demon King descended from heaven, truly a Fortune God of the human world!
Effect 1 - Transformation: Can freely transform into the style of other clothes.
Effect 2 - Demon Lord: Can house ghosts and spiritual beings within the Demonic Garment and dominate them.
Effect 3 - Fortune: The dominated ghosts and spiritual beings will bring special fortune to oneself.
Bonus: Charm +1
Usage Conditions: Constitution 20, complete a massacre of ten thousand people.
After reading the introduction of the clothes on him, Kisaragi Rin had probably figured out this equipment.
In addition to the three main effects, there was also a hidden effect of attracting ghosts and spiritual beings.
The Demon King's domination was not twisting thoughts, but rather setting a lock that made it basically impossible for ghosts to generate the will to resist.
As for the special effect of Fortune, it was probably easier to encounter ghosts and spiritual beings.
In just two or three days, he had encountered Sadako and Hanako through various events.
Returning to the second floor, Haibara Ai, who had just finished school, was being held in Shizuka Marikawa's arms, deeply entrenched and unable to extricate herself.
Although Haibara Ai repeatedly emphasized that she was not a child, she could never shake Shizuka Marikawa's idea of holding her.
"You were downstairs for so long."
Haibara Ai muttered softly, struggling to get up from Shizuka Marikawa's embrace only when Kisaragi came over.
Ever since more people moved into the apartment, Haibara Ai liked to look at Kisaragi Rin with an expression of looking at cannon fodder.
Weak, helpless, afraid, but it didn't affect Haibara Ai expressing herself with her eyes.
Facing this tsundere loli, Kisaragi Rin hugged Shizuka Marikawa and then told her, "Anya's father is indeed a codenamed member of the Black Organization."
Her expression froze, Haibara Ai suppressed her panic, and said calmly, "Understood. I will build a good relationship with Anya and then try to extract information about the organization members from her."
"I'm counting on you."
Kisaragi Rin said seriously, not telling her that Loid Forger had already defected.
How could a mere tsundere loli live such a peaceful life?
Shizuka Marikawa glanced at the kitchen, where Busujima Saeko and Kanroji Mitsuri were still cooking, and gleefully wrapped herself around him, lowering her voice, "Isn't it Sensei's turn tonight?"
Although she lowered her voice, it was actually quite loud, and the movements in the kitchen quieted a little, as if listening for the reply.
"Didn't you arrange this?"
Kisaragi Rin asked back strangely.
He didn't know what kind of fetish Shizuka Marikawa had; she always liked to call herself Sensei, and she also liked to call Kisaragi "Kisaragi-san," even though Kisaragi no longer called her "Marikawa-sensei" during their interactions, she always did.
"Sensei saved a cream puff for you."
Shizuka Marikawa, wearing only a thin nightgown, had smooth, translucent, and fleshy thighs casually swaying on him, and as she spoke, she bit into a cream puff and leaned closer.
The cream puffs from this shop were indeed very sweet, and the cream flavor was rich, but with Shizuka Marikawa's special feeding, the divided taste was just right.
Receiving this level of bribe, Kisaragi Rin pushed Shizuka Marikawa's hand away and reluctantly agreed.
"I'll tell the two of them."
"Vulgar."
Listening to Shizuka Marikawa's cheers, Haibara Ai was a little confused.
Is Shizuka Marikawa excellent?
Her appearance goes without saying, and internally, her knowledge of medical science during conversations was quite rich, and she had her own insights into various cutting-edge knowledge. Her sudden flashes of brilliant ideas could even startle Haibara Ai.
But such a Shizuka Marikawa was willing to share Kisaragi Rin with other equally excellent people.
If she were from a feudal era, it would be one thing, but she was also a modern person with a normal upbringing.
Even she, whose entire learning and life were under the control of the Black Organization, couldn't accept sharing one person.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai glanced at Kisaragi Rin; this guy always liked to scare her, and the content of that note still bothered her.
However, when he said big words like "The Black Organization is nothing, I'll deal with it" on the floor mattress, it indeed brought Haibara Ai a sense of security.
"...Maybe it's normal to like Kisaragi-san."
As soon as the unsettling thought emerged, Haibara Ai was startled and quickly shook her head to dispel it.
"Dinner's ready."
Busujima Saeko and Kanroji Mitsuri walked over; it was the sweet and sour pork ribs they had agreed to make yesterday.
